Class of 2022: Rising to the Challenge
This class — the 51st group of LBJ School graduates — experienced a tenure at the school unlike any other. They began their studies online in the midst of a global pandemic, navigating an educational model that was being created and implemented at the same time, and finding new ways to learn, work and collaborate. We are thrilled to reconvene in person on May 21 to celebrate the resilience and accomplishments of these 125 graduates from all over the world.
